IN THEIR WORDS
"Self-Tape Momentum was a perfect next step for me. I have been submitting self-tape auditions for over a year and I was getting stuck. Jane takes great care in choosing new scripts each week and with her students in mind. Soon I felt relaxed and was enjoying taping - both for the class and for auditions. "

"Jane’s class breaks through the mystery of casting and branding with a wealth of knowledge from every side of the industry. She helps you understand that the business of marketing yourself shouldn’t be uncomfortable, it should be the opposite. I highly recommend Jane and any of her classes."
